Thanks for the replies. I guess your truck seems lower as there is more wheel and tire than I have. My measurements are pretty close, and mine doesn’t seem low enough to me.

do you have any sort of additional weight in your truck? I’m also carrying a full size spare to match my 20’s. I know it’s not much but every bit counts.

No I don't. I still have the factory 17 under there that's it

I did have it lower but it started slicing my new tires.

So, it sits how you want it to and when cruising in a straight line, rides fine (not too stiff or too soft), but just oscillates (floats up and down more than once) after hitting a bump at speed?

the truck doesn’t sit quite as low as I’d like, however after exploring Lower ride heights, I learned where it’s at now is as low as I can go “comfortably”

around town, truck drives decent. Potholes / series of dips or bumps cause a lot of bumpsteer. Large potholes are violent. Feels like a bend a rim every time. Doesn’t slam the frame but it takes bumps very harsh.

on the highway. 50-60mph is fine, pretty smooth. 70-80 I develop a sway or “looseness” especially over bumps or changes in the road. The bumps cause the truck to go up and down almost float. Reminds me of riding in a 1990’s Lincoln towncar. Sloppy, airy feeling. Feels “looser” than I’d prefer.

I have never seen belltech jounce stops for the front. Where did you get them at?

amazon. 20 bucks. Cut the studs off with a dremel, fits perfectly into the factory Jouncestop location. Rides way better too.

Think I might try these out cause a need a shorter jounce stop in the front since I have de cranked my keys in the front.

Those are probably shorter than the 4923 by 1”

my 4923 belltech fit perfect with keys and decranked torsion bars. Light pressure touching when the truck is sitting level. I’ll try and snap a picture today.
